I am currently receiving the digest, and I would REALLY like to encourage people ***not*** to post attachments to the e-mail discussion list. Not everyone wants every attachment, and they take time and cost money to download. All such postings should be sent to an ftp site, and only the pointer to the relevant file. I have done this myself, often, vide: https://www.indigo.ie/egt/standards/iso639/sign-language.html I wouldn't want to have to stop subscribing to the list, but I only want those attachments which I feel are relevant to me.
